INSITEs Into Commercial Fishing

INSITE, the independent science programme examining the effects of manmade structures on the ecology of the North Sea, is launching a series of free webinars.

The webinars will cover key findings from each of the programme’s work packages, from marine biodiversity and monitoring to offshore wind deployment and cumulative impact assessments.

This webinar will uncover how our understanding of fish populations in the marine environment interact with man-made structures and explore the implications for commercial fisheries and wider marine management. 

Panelists:

• Professor Paul Fernandes (Heriot-Watt University)
• Dr Natalie Hicks (University of Essex)
• Dr Serena Wright (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science)

The webinar will feature some reflections by Dr Rob Cook from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and a discussion session hosted by Dr Henk van Rein (Howell Marine Consulting).
